Be it known that l, .ADOLPH G.. KAUr- MAN, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New- York, have inventedanew and useful Vaporizer-Guide,.of `which thefollowing is a specification. I' Y This invention relates to lanterns, and especially-to .that class where the hydrocarbon fluid is vaporized and burned in connection with incandescent mantles; and the object'of the invention is to provide a lantern of this kind with al guide for the vaporizer sothatthe vaporizer, or generator,

can be inserted between the mantles with-v out danger of breaking the same, and Without having to remove the globe, or supporting plate.

rlhe invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in`whichV Figure 1, is a 'sectional elevation'of a lantern, or portion thereof, constructed in accordance with my invention; l i v Fig. 2, is a section thereof, on the line 22ofFig.1; i

Fig. 8, is a sectionalview of a part ofthe lantern, taken on'the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, looking inthe `direction of the arrows; and

Fig.V 4 is a face view-cfa partfof the lantern carrying=the mantles, and the guide leading to the vaporizer entrance in the burner head. A f

1nV the drawing, like numerals of refer-` ence refer to views. ,n

In' practice I provideav lantern having a the samepart'sin each of the reservoir 5, vaporizer ,6, and air-intake tube 7, with a burner head 8, which is provided with an extension 9, with which the tube 7 is connected; and in the face of this extension I provide a channel 10, leading to the orifice 11, in the horizontal part of the burner head 8 adapted to receive the nozzle of the vaporizer 6.

The globe supporting plate 12 is providedV with a central orifice 13 over the preheating cup 14 on the vaporizer 6, so that the ignition fuel may iiow down the channel 15 in the plate 12 and enter the same; and the plate 12 is Yprovided with a slot 16 communicating with the orifice 13 and extending outwardly sufiiciently so that the vaporizer 6 canvbe drawn out into the position indicated with dotted lines in Fig. 1 infremoving the same from the lantern, or inserting the saine.' By this arrangement the Y VAronI'zER-GU'IDE.

In operation, when it is desired to remove the vaporizeig'the same is 'unscrewed from its connection with the burner valve 18, and

may then be drawn out till the vaporizer cup, yor. preheating cup 14 is free from the burner valve and reservoir as'clearly shown,

when the vaporizer may be drawn out. lV hen it is desired to'reinsert the vaporizer 6, 'it is passed upward within the lantern. through the slot 16, till theend of the vaporizer strikes the channel'l() formed in the extension 9'of the burner head, when the end of the vaporizer is guided to the orifice 11 in the burner head between the mantles 19 without danger of breaking either mantle. j l y' n It will thus beseen that by providing the guide in the burner head and extension, and

by providing the slot 16 in the base plate to coact therewith the vaporizer can beeasilyV renewed jwithout'f breaking the` mantles.

This is. Specially' facilitated by fixing the I'ns cup 14 oncthe vaporizer 6 'so that the vaporizer can be handled with the cup, or by using the cup as a tool to unscrew theva` porizer, and in screwingthe same in posi- ,y tion after `the end of the vaporizer enters the orifice 11 in theuburnerhead. VIt will Athus be seen that the slot 16 coacts with the channel 10 to form the guide, or to guide l the vaporizer vto its 'position as the slot is; ypreferably so located that when the vaporizer is inserted through theV same and passed upwardly it will be in line with the channel lthat kthe two may act together to guide and direct the vaporizer to the ori-V fice 11. in the burner head.

It will be understood that the orice'l?) in the plate 12 might be made largerin which event the slot 16 could be omitted, and the It is usual to usetwo mantles in a lantern of this kind; and when twomantles are used,v the orifice inthe burner Y'head :is preferably" located between them. In such a construction it is very desirable to have a guide to prevent the breakage of the mantles in theV renewal,l or needling ofthe vaporizer,

where the vaporizer is removed for .the pur- Y the burner head..

pose of needling 7. It isl also desirable to provide means toattend lto the vaporizerV 4said headhaving a guide for the vaporizer extending vertically below the top of .the mantles and laterally from without the zone of'the mantles to the vaporizer entrance in A3. In an incandescent light having means for generatin gas from a hydrocarbon fluid and burning t ie same in lconnection with an incandescent mantle, a burner head having a y dependent portion connected with the supporting standard, saidV extension having a guide in one side thereofadapted tov direct the vaporizer'toward the burner head, and said burner head having a guide for the .vaporizer from said dependent portion to Vthe vaporizer orifice 1n the burner head.

'4. In" an incandescent light having means for generating gas from a hydrocarbonv fluid and burning the same in connection p with an incandescent mantle, a burner head having a side arm, an air-intake tube comf municating with said z arm, and a guide.v

trancey inftheburnerhead.

adaptedvto direct" the vaporizer nozzle to the receiving orificein said head, said guide having a verticali' portion extending parallel .with the. .airintake tube adapted to direct 'fthek vaporizer upwardV toward the burner head, anda horizontal portion leading from said Vvertical portion to the vaporizerA en-VA 5. y In an incandescent light having means 'for generating gas -fromv a hydrocarbon fluid and Yburning the same in rconnection with -a plurality of incandescent mantles,'a burnerhead having a vaporizer-.entrance intermediate V,of said` mantles, and having. aside. arm with a dependent portion, an air-intake tube vconnected vwith said extension and ,in communication withsaid arm, vsaidfhead havinga guide. extending vertically along said def pendent portionV and horizontally along the bottom of .thehead from .saidportion tothe vaporizer entrance whereby the ,vaporizer may be directedupwardly along-said airintake. tube and laterally t0A said orifice.

V6. The herein describedlantern comprising a reservoir, vaporizer, and burner head with supporting air-intake tube, said lantern being inclosed with a globe mountedon a supporting plate, .and the burner Ahead carrying two mantles with an orifice between them adapted to receive saidfvaporizer, said ,75 plate having a central. orifice, and a slot eX.-

tending from saidlorifice outward from said air-,intake tube, said burner vhead .having a vertical guide extending below the top of` the mantles, and ahorizontal guide extending from the vertical guide to the vaporizer entrance, Vfor the purpose set forth.

7. In a lantern, the combination of a guide for the vaporizer in the ,burner head, and a slot in the globe supporting plate adaptedy to co-act with said guide in directing -the va orizer to the entrance in the burner head.
